Hey guys, I am working on karaf-1748, and the consensus is that we should avoid printing stack traces on a (permission denied) FileNotFoundException on startup if the karaf.log is not accessible. But in order to achieve this we need to throw an exception from BootstrapLogManager. Currently any exception in that class just does a e.printStackTrace() then returns a null handler (which also throws a NPE). So this of course prints to the console.
Is there any reason we should not throw an exception from that class and handle it further up in the calling classes to avoid printing to the console in this case (and possibly others)? I believe the DefaultJDBCLock and the SimpleFileLock would have to handle the exception along with a couple of others. Cheers, Heath
